Every packing video you record is insurance against a fake return. But if your VMS charges you for each of those videos, you are paying more for insurance every time your business grows. That is the opposite of what a low cost VMS should do.
The hidden cost inside “per-video” pricing
Most packing video tools in India charge in one of three ways:
- Per video or per order — a few paise to a couple of rupees for every order recorded
- Credit bundles — you buy a block of credits and top up when they run out
- Monthly plans with an order cap — a base fee for a set number of orders, then an extra charge for every order above it
All three share one problem: the cost is tied to your order count. Sale season, a viral product or a new marketplace listing all push your VMS bill up, right when you can least afford surprises.
The reason is simple. These tools upload every clip to their own cloud. Cloud storage and bandwidth cost them money, so they pass it on per video.
How ClaimVMS stays low cost
ClaimVMS removes the cloud from the bill.
- Videos are saved on your own system, not on our servers. We have no storage cost to recover from you.
- One flat yearly licence, starting at ₹5,000. Record 100 orders or 10,000 orders — the price is the same.
- Unlimited videos. No credits to watch, no top-ups, no overage line on the invoice.
- No hardware to buy. A normal webcam or the ClaimVMS Android app is all you need.
A quick example
Say a monthly plan charges ₹1,499 for 1,500 orders and ₹1 for each order above that (a real public plan structure). At 3,000 orders a month you pay about ₹2,999 a month, or roughly ₹36,000 a year.
With ClaimVMS, one packing station starts at ₹5,000 for the whole year, with every one of those 36,000 videos included.
“Low cost” should not mean “low proof”
A cheap tool is only worth it if the video wins the claim. ClaimVMS clips show what marketplaces look for:
- The AWB / shipping label clearly in frame
- The exact product, SKU and quantity going into the box
- The box being sealed
- A timestamp, linked to the AWB so you find it in seconds
What you should budget for on your side
Since the footage lives on your system, plan for storage. A short packing clip is usually a few megabytes to a few tens of megabytes, depending on resolution and length. A 1–2 TB external drive holds a very large number of clips and is a one-time cost of a few thousand rupees — far less than a year of per-video fees for most sellers. Back it up once a week.
